Ableton Forum

Hi all,

There are a ton of resources for people looking to produce using Ableton but I find there are significantly fewer that deal specifically with how to use it as a live performance instrument.

Does anybody have any recommendations of especially good sources of tips/tricks/etc.? It could be threads on here, YouTube videos.... anything, really.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

This is how create and perform my live sets with Ableton:

Using Live for live performance is a more personal thing than production. Tarekith's blog is totally different to how I use Live for gigs and even then, how I use Live changes depending on the project.

So interesting stuff so far, though I suppose I should have been more clear: I'm most interested in learning features that are the most applicable to playing live but which you wouldn't generally use in production.

An example would be tricks using Follow Actions. You can use them in production, of course, but they're mainly a real-time tool.
